100 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium: Weekly Maintenance

[@matyas4878]

It’s almost as if you made water changes fun. Congratulations, you have made all bucket hauling reefers like me jelous!😁😋🐟🐟

[@ReeferGil]

HAHA, it fun because it's so easy! Thanks for the post Matyas!

[@ScottM]

I said it before and I will say it again, that is a sweet "almost" fully automated system. Looking great brother and I can't wait to see what's next.

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you very much Scott! I really love it.

[@nicholasurban9443]

The system you have created is magnificent!

[@ReeferGil]

Ha, well thank you very very much!

[@Abreezeducttesting]

Good morning, Lol....looking for your Sunday morning video before heading to church.

[@ReeferGil]

abreezeducttesting Haha, thanks buddy. Going to take today off. Enjoying family and the outdoors for another week.

[@Quinoking54]

God knows how much I miss my Sunday morning "TV shows". I will wait for the next season 😁

[@ReeferGil]

LMAO, thank you very much for the encouragement.

[@robertmccreary4749]

One of favorite youtubers. Hope you are still in the hobby and doing well

[@ReeferGil]

Yes sir, tank is cycling version 2

[@tinabloomfield7228]

Love how you made water changes easier for you Gil

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Tina, it's working out pretty nicely.

[@lineman4204]

Very nice, u got this tank hooked up. This was well thought out. Keep up the good videos

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Linemen!

[@katehalle407]

Amazing design!! Very detailed video!

[@ReeferGil]

Hurry up Thursday!! Boat is parked in the driveway.

[@katehalle407]

ReeferGil where is your video?? It's SUNDAY!!

[@ReeferGil]

Kate Halle Sorry, enjoying Memorial weekend, see you on the next one

[@marineone2010]

gotta love that no hassle water change system. That's the best thing that i ever did for my system. When is the next update?

[@ReeferGil]

Hey Marine, my settings on YT were jacked up, so I just got this now. I have a significant update to put out soon. Thanks!

[@GENISIS1TWENTYONE]

Very nice Gil, congrats on all the new subs

[@ReeferGil]

Where you been! HAHA, thanks man.

[@GENISIS1TWENTYONE]

ReeferGil Been crazy busy with work, kids, school, etc. Broke down my 140 when I moved and setup a 55 mixed reef that was fully stocked here at my current place but back in December when Hurricane Irma hit I lost it all and since then been just running it as a FOWLR with a few fish in it. That was a pretty big blow for me and discouraging.... Also kinda pressed for time to dedicate it the hobby but the love of it keeps me dabbling around with something lol. I still watch some of you all builds though

[@ReeferGil]

GENISIS1TWENTYONE oh man, screw hurricanes.

[@yourfellowreefer7145]

Such a clean Setup Gil , you have everything looking very sharp 👍🏻 very nice to see this setup, can’t wait for the next video

[@ReeferGil]

Hopefully I can keep coral when the time comes, lol. Thank you sir!

[@JyB818]

Jealous of that setup! Great video!

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you!

[@5238jorge]

Just saw your ad on Craigslist I hope all is well. I wish I could get it definitely a nice system.

[@ReeferGil]

I'm keeping it. Just started the cycle yesterday :)

[@DeeFromBrooklyn]

I miss your updates. . Happy holidays

[@ReeferGil]

Right back at you Dee, thanks for dropping me the line!

[@urbans7205]

Starting to really come together and great choice of fish you have added so far.

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Urban, if all goes well, Tangs will be next and final addition.

[@scottyd5144]

Really nice system!

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks a bunch Scotty!

[@RogueAquariums]

Gil, you make water changes look effortless. 👍 great job

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you Rogue.

[@rankinwood2196]

Great set up

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you!

[@5238jorge]

Man that’s awesome i hate dealing with the buckets lol

[@ReeferGil]

LOL, thanks man!

[@SCReefer]

Gill, I will tell you from start of this build until now has been awesome. Thanks for another great update.

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks SC, I see you had some company recently. Nice!

[@SCReefer]

I was an awesome day. Lots of fun.

[@SCReefer]

Gil, i'm sorry man I need top lids # again.

[@AmericanReefing]

Awesome system Gil! I love the easy water change system. Great video.

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks American, really makes things simple when it comes to changing the water.

[@BriansAquariums]

Very nice setup! Super clean!

[@ReeferGil]

Right on Brian, much appreciated.

[@DwightMcCharles]

Great Video👍 I love your water change system.

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks man, it really makes things easy.

[@Up-ey6tm]

Almost FOT tank does not affected even by massive water change method. Yet, stable reef aquarium can be affected by water changing paremeters instead of using automated elements refilling system, which does not shock the corals, and avoid unstable conditions.

[@NextGenFinance3]

Will we ever see any more updates? I would really enjoy one :)

[@ReeferGil]

Yes sir... maybe sooner than you think.

[@leighakymberlynn2264]

He uploaded today!

[@Blade9635]

Mind sharing how you're tumbling your chaeto off your reactor? Getting ready to redo my manifold and love your setup!

[@ReeferGil]

I didnt do anything special. Just the flow itself causing it to tumble. Once chaeto grew, it no longer had space to tumble.

[@Blade9635]

@@ReeferGil Thanks!

[@BALD8BIL]

Great video and everything looks great keep the updates coming

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Bald!!! Will do!!!

[@melaniesimpson6322]

Wow!! Nice system Gil! Makes your maintenance a breeze. Hope to have something similar when we retire to our home in Sonora. We just don't have the room here.

[@ReeferGil]

So funny you say that. I'm already planning my new build for when I make my permanent move in a few years.

[@melaniesimpson6322]

Ya always have to plan ahead! Will u be staying in California?

[@greenman1426]

awesome video as ever. I am loving the automation!

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Green!

[@cavery8476]

Nice setup

[@mjweismann111]

Seems like it’s a little bit of a pain to get those filter socks out because you have the drains going directly down into them. Is there an advantage to doing that over having the drains go into a separate compartment first and allowing the water to flow over a baffle into the socks?

[@ReeferGil]

It is a pain. I like the compartment setup better. The only real advantage to doing it my way is that is saves a little space in the sump. Thanks for the question Weezy!

[@jbeanz24]

When is the next video? Would love to see how the tank looks like now.

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks jbeanz, adding fish slowly. Will have to do an update.

[@PuffDaddyReef]

Such an awesome setup. #tankgoals

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you Puff Daddy!

[@KreefAquariumhobby]

Great video again!!

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you K!

[@ReefEco]

Hey RG - haven't heard from you in a while - hope everything is going ok. And the tank too. Looking forward to see what you spray paint to match next : )

[@ReeferGil]

Hey Eco. All is good. I post regularly on Instagram. Thanks for checking in.

[@markdao7389]

Hahaha!!! That’s awesome! 2:17 🤣

[@ReeferGil]

HAHA, it just worked out like that, but I wanted to give the builder some credit!

[@Abreezeducttesting]

Gil any updates coming?

[@ReeferGil]

You bet! Tight for time with work and graduate school. Follow me on Instagram, daily updates! :) Hope your well sir!

[@michigancarp]

Superduper:)

[@ReeferGil]

haha... yes sir!!!

[@JoeBurner1720]

Hey do you think a yellow tang, kole yellow eye tang, and a some sort of bristletooth tang (two spot) would be compatible in a 125 gallon reef?

[@ReeferGil]

It's always a risk, but I've seen it done. Bringing them all in at the same time seems to lessen the odds of aggression.

[@IanB1015]

Reefergil: where do you get your screen top for your tank? I have a tabletop reef that measures 18.5" x 11.5" and lost my last fish because it jumped.

[@gmtech9884]

New here. How often do you post ?

[@ReeferGil]

I've been doing every Sunday, but taking a short break for summer as of now.

[@TheErtsj]

Hey any tank updates?

[@ReeferGil]

Version 2 is up and running, all of the fish I will have are in, and even have a few pieces of "tester" corals. Version 2 looks promising.

[@MadHattersReef]

I like the auqasape.

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks buddy, but I broke it all down. Tank is sitting dry for now.

[@mattpaul6805]

Man that looks like my SCA 150 Rimless.

[@ReeferGil]

Awesome! I'm digging this system.

[@BlueCarbonReefing]

I see you used your label maker on the BRS reactor. 👊🖒

[@ReeferGil]

Haha, I had to. It made too much sense! Thanks for the tip sir!

[@BlueCarbonReefing]

Anytime! When the community comes together everyone wins!

[@michigancarp]

Dang buddy, time to come back with a new video as it's been to long. Hope all is well

[@ReeferGil]

Thank you. I will be back. I took the summer off to enjoy myself. Coming back with some really bad news though.

[@jordanyang3066]

This is the only thing holding me back from big tanks. All that plumbing and water changes are just to much for my place. For now nano tanks will have to do, but I'm limited on the fish I can keep.

[@ReeferGil]

Nothing wrong with working with what you have. Nano tanks bring a reef indoors for relaxation and your enjoyment, in much the same way as a larger system.

[@ricosaquariums7992]

👊👍

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Rico!

[@harrison0550]

Where did you go? No videos in a couple months now. You ok?

[@ReeferGil]

Andy Harrison Hey Andy. I'm good. I took the summer off, thank you.

[@harrison0550]

ReeferGil Thanks that’s great news. The wife asked about your videos earlier. I usually watch them every Sunday and she noticed we haven’t watched yours in a while. Was watching another KZbin channel today and she said “I don’t like this guy, what happened to the Gil guy you used to watch” Hahaha. Enjoy your summer and look forward to your next video.

[@ReeferGil]

Andy Harrison LMAO, made my night

[@racecarsandreeftanks9660]

When. Are we getting an update?

[@ReeferGil]

Oh for sure, taking a break in the meantime.

[@racecarsandreeftanks9660]

ReeferGil I figured. Just making sure you weren't shut down again.

[@ReeferGil]

Haha, thanks man. Channel is all good

[@marcoalmenares1015]

Hello reef Gil you been mia ( missing in action) 😂 and update or new addition?

[@ReeferGil]

I'm active on Instagram 👍

[@derekkchung]

Gil, I see you are selling the setup on CL. Out of hobby? Why? Too much work? Too costly?

[@ReeferGil]

Moving in a couple of years. With velvet set back, it doesn't make sense to restart. Plus I need to do remodeling. I'm out for a while.

[@coralionline7592]

Any updates?

[@ReeferGil]

Still have some fish in QT, some are in DT. Adding the fish to DT slowly, should be done in a couple more weeks.

[@strat1960s]

Where you been?

[@ReeferGil]

Still here... :)

[@strat1960s]

Hope all is well. I look forward to your next video.

[@alancunningham5120]

missing the vids

[@ReeferGil]

LOL, thanks. I took a summer break. Update to come!

[@buddhamonk26]

Time for an update! C’mon

[@ReeferGil]

LOL, You're totally right man. In the meantime, I'm on Instagram putting out updates nearly daily.

[@915Mang]

No More Buckets, Thanks to the guy from the 50's!

[@ReeferGil]

LMAO, I still have to use buckets for the nano and QT, but they're small water changes.

[@cubanreefer1582]

Can I borrow your basement for couple years?

[@ReeferGil]

LOL, absolutely!!!!

[@xjd8375]

Where Are You??? 😞☝🏻

[@ReeferGil]

LOL, taking a bit of a break.

[@tsurro8086]

Just leave the gate valve open and use the ball valve to open and close? Daaa,, lol

[@ReeferGil]

I might have done that once or twice, lol! Hope all is well sir!

[@ProBoatMan]

Your Phos Reactor not working rock is green pump up the volume

[@ReeferGil]

Hey Bunker Buster, not sure what you saw but the media isn't green at all. Thanks for the post though.

[@adrhdz93]

Where’s the tank

[@ReeferGil]

Follow me on Instagram. Daily updates!

[@MT-jf1tn]

Great job, but 😬😰😂😂😂

[@ReeferGil]

Thanks Manuel
